A E D
There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop
A E D
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
A E D
And every year the city’s gettin’ closer, Lord knows it won’t stop
A E D
And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said
CHORUS:
A E F#m D
This land was our land but Lord now it’s their land
A E D
And we’re still here, but not for long
A E F#m D
So let’s raise a cold one and play all the old ones
A E D
‘Til we’ve sung the last country song
There’s 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin
and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer’s gonna take Hank’s roadhouse down,
so everybody sing
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
E D
Will we play “Swingin'” or “He Stopped Loving Her Today”
Bm E D
It’s really sad to see it end this way
CHORUS:
A E D
‘Til we’ve sung the last country song
A E D
Oh we’ve sung the last country song
A E D A
Oh we’ve sung the last country song
